Long haul truck driving has been named one of the top 10 most dangerous professions and is associated with degenerative disorders. Truckers often develop disc bulges, herniation, nerve impingements and spondylolisthesis as a result of the heavy lifting they engage in.

Dr. Kaul has a special interest in minimally invasive, outpatient procedures that may relieve these patients of their back pain.
